Good link, thanks.

"When Ms. Ross mentioned the existence in western Victoria of the stone remains of these houses in a recent address to a conference of Architects, loan planners and landscape architects, the assembled body of habitation experts were astounded."

Such lifestyles perhaps would make Aborigines appear a sophisticated race living in a planned and complex society. Better to believe they were primitive, stone-age creatures who really did not use the land and therefore it was free for the taking by the white man.
Or, it would make the Aborigines appear to be latecomers, or worse yet, mass-murdering bands who destroyed an older culture. Even worse, it could show that the myth of the Dreamtime is a very modern invention.
